> and we all agreed, without a doubt that their is no substitute for human contact it depends on the context. Slack is replacing human contact for me, today, because I've decided not to show up at work since I can communicate (sometimes more effectively in writing than in speech) with my cofounders on our product development. And the same can be said for social media, email, etc. They are different experiences, perhaps inferior to human contact if certain things the experience offers (again, depending on the context) matter more than what you get in other experiences. My sister is studying in Europe. It will be fun to VR chat with her, rather than use a phone or WhatsApp.
